Would putting his name on my package be wrong??
Okay guys/gals, I've decided that I'm going to have my "toys" delivered to my house...and my question is: I always get packages and letters delivered to me that belong to the guy that used to live in my apartment. Would it be completely dick to use his name as the "john doe". I figure, since there is a history of his stuff coming to the house, it would be more viable that it could not have been mine, if I was caught. Would this be a dick thing to do, for him at least?
No sweat, Vegeta, I found this one on my own . . .

Hmmmmmm . . . Interesting opportunity. The usual scenario, of course, is to use a fake name, but to have the actual name of someone who lived at your place previously presents an interesting opportunity.
There are, of course, a few problems. The first is that the former resident may or may not have filed a change of address form. In other words, you are getting some of his mail there, but are you getting all of it? (For example, one can file a change of address to forward first class mail, but not all mail. You may be getting advertisements, supermarket brochures, and mail order catalogues with his name, but are you getting first class mail? If not, you can bet that at least some packages are being forwarded.)
Now, the law is simple . . . You can call yourself anything, including a pink elephant, as long as it is not with intent to defraud. In theory, you could be guilty of a crime in your scenario, but the crime is receiving AS, not impersonating someone else, unless he presses charges[/i].
Vegeta990 is correct - this presents more of an ethical dilemma than a legal dilemma. From a practical perspective, it's unlikely that the ex-resident would be arrested and convicted for receiving AS, since he had never received them. (Not to mention that he could easily be cleared by a polygraph - unless, of course, he happened to be a juicer himself and was under stress.) In such a situation, the powers-that-be might press charges against you for the fun of it (they do that sort of thing on occasion).
But as far as options go, this one is probably as safe as any other. The only difference might be whether you are ordering omestically or internationally. International shipments would probably be interrupted (if at all) before they hit your door, domestic ones are more likely to get through (barring any random post-9/11 security checks). But in reality, anyone would be able to figure out what's realy happening since the shipment had to be paid for by someone.

That was why I said to pay for it with a money order (I'm assuming that you don't need an ID to get one) in which case you could sign it with a fake name.
ok ok because I know how specific you are TNT:
1. don't get finger prints on the letter or mail order check (use leather gloves)
2. use bottled water to seal the letter (the cops could run a DNA test on the siliva used to seal it or a mineral content anaylsis to see where the water came from).
3. Have someone else fill out the mail order check so penmanship experts can't link it to you (yes they can tell if you are right handed and fill it out with your left)
of course, for the cops to go through all that they would really want your ass... bad!!! lol
